Canon RE-455X Visualizer: Designed as a companion product to Canon's new LV-7245, LV-7240, and LV-X5 Multimedia Projectors but also intended as a stand-alone unit, Canon's new RE-455X Visualizer is an XGA resolution document camera built to meet the needs of schools, universities, courtrooms, or any other environment requiring image capture of paper-based documents or 3-D objects. Key features of the RE455X Visualizer include One-Shot Autofocus, which focuses the lens with one touch of a button--a very useful feature when frequently changing items beneath the Visualizer's camera. The Canon RE-455X Visualizer has a suggested list price of $2299, will be available in early September and may be purchased at authorized Canon dealers.
